Good new SF writers

scipio_major · 2002-06-01 23:26:39

Can anyone tell me a few good Sf writers whose novels have been first published in the last ten years? In other words good SF which hasn't been written by any of the masters (Asimov, Clark, Card). Oh and leave out Iain M Banks too. I've worked my way through his stuff already (quite good) Fade to Credits Scipio_major

Neil Stephenson, read "Snowcrash" first then "Zodiac" his others are also good

Roger Zelazny "Lord of light" briliant mix of Sci fi and fantasy

Greg Egan "Permutation city", "Diaspora" are V Good "Distressed" is OK, his latest "?" is also V good. Lots of hard science(ish) He a physics lecturer. Terenesia is sh1t

Can't think of any others off the top... will look in the collection and see what I can see.
